CHAPTER 5: On-Screen Functions, Same-Port Users, and Connection Modes
5. On-Screen Functions,
Same-Port
Users, and Connection Modes
This chapter discusses various operating functions of the Matrix ServSwitch that
involve the on-screen display. It also discusses the restrictions involved when there
are more than two users in the system (so that more than one user occupies the
same slot number), as well as the four “connection modes” that determine the level
of control users have over CPUs they select.
5.1 Logging In
The Matrix ServSwitch system can be configured to require users at any user
(KVM) station to type in a username and password in order to log into the system.
If you’ve set the system to do this, the login box shown in Figure 5-1 appears
whenever a Switch is powered on, a user logs off, or when the automatic-logout
(keyboard/mouse inactivity) timeout expires (see Section 4.6).
Figure 5-1. The login box.
To log in, users must type in their user ID (username) and press [Enter]. If no
user ID has been defined for a given user (see Section 4.4), any user ID they enter
is simply deleted and ignored. If the user ID is correct, they must then type in their
password and press [Enter]. A user may log in with the same user ID at more than
one KVM station.
